Saturday’s Find It, Fix It Walk with the Mayor is postponed. Here’s a message from the City staff who are organizing the walk:

“Due to a severe weather forecast for this coming Saturday, October 15, and out of an abundance of caution, the Crown Hill / Whittier Heights Find It, Fix It Walk will be postponed until a later date.Safety is the number one priority in this decision. Both with City staff needed for emergency response efforts and potential dangers facing neighbors, a walk on Saturday would not provide the opportunity you deserve to voice your concerns.”
Stay tuned. Whittier Heights Community Council and the Crown Hill Committee for Smart Growth are coordinating the walk with the City, and will keep you posted in a new date. Please check our websites for updates: WHCC and CHUV-CSG.

“Friends and neighbors! Whittier Hts Community Council invites you to join your neighbors new and old for a casual meet ‘n’ greet Happy Hour at The Barking Dog next Monday evening. Hear about multiple upcoming Whittier Hts Community Council WHCC events, such as the Mayor’s “Find It, Fix It Walk,” and grab a beer and a salad and meet Whittier Heights residents including the new owner of the Dog, Dan Anderson. Official time 5:30-7:30, but come and go whenever and say hello! REEEALLY hope to see you there! Cheers.” –Brent Lackey, WHCC president

1. Gather a few rocks, paint, brushes and decorate your rocks!
2. Write “NW Seattle Rocks, Facebook” on the bottom of the rocks so finder knows to which Facebook group to post photos of found rocks.
3. Hide your rock!

Did you know the Kirke Park P-Patch on 9th Ave NW has a giving garden to grow vegetables for the Ballard Food Bank? The p-patch gardeners grow, harvest and deliver the veggies. Here’s today’s 17 lb. bounty of kale, beans, zucchini, tomatoes, snap peas and chard. A food bank shopper commented, “you can’t get more local than that!”
Do you have extra from your garden or fruit trees? Please consider donating: www.ballardfoodbank.org/donate-food/
